This document is to track the status of OpenVZ integration into Ubuntu 8.04 «Hardy Heron».
Contents
Kernel
2.6.24 kernel is ready for initial inclusion to Hardy. Below are some resources.
Ubuntu Hardy kernel git:
OpenVZ 2.6.24 kernel git (switch to 2.6.24-openvz branch):
- http://git.openvz.org/?p=linux-2.6.24-openvz;a=summary
- http://git.openvz.org/?p=linux-2.6.24-openvz;a=shortlog;h=2.6.24-openvz
linux-patch-openvz package:http://forzza.systs.org/alpha/2.6.24/linux-patch-openvz_2.6.24-001_all.deb
Status: in progress.
Tools
vzctl
Currently Ubuntu ships vzctl-3.0.16, which has to be updated to 3.0.22. Should be trivial, as Debian Unstable already have 3.0.22:
sysctl
It probably makes sense to automate changing sysctl options on vzctl package installation (like vzctl from debian.systs.org does).
vzquota
Currently Ubuntu ships vzquota-3.0.9, make sense to refresh to vzquota-3.0.11.
vzpkg
Don't have plans to ship vzpkg in Ubuntu
Documentation
- Ubuntu-specific documentation on wiki.openvz.org (see)
- OpenVZ landing page for ubuntu.com
Templates
The following templates are currently available (check http://openvz.org/download/template/cache/ for full list):
- Ubuntu 7.10 for x86 and x86_64.
We need to create somewhat minimal Hardy template and [probably?] pack it into a package.
As Ubuntu comes with debootstrap, making Ubuntu templates is pretty easy. See Ubuntu Gutsy template creation.
